numbered releases, and the release status will only be available in the
tarball name.

Apache 2.0.15 Released as alpha
-------------------------------
The Apache Group is proud to announce the release the fifteenth release
of Apache 2.0. This release is the first release to use our new release
process. This process allows the Apache developers to more easily
determine the quality of any release. Instead of tagging any release
as an alpha or beta from now on, all releases will be available as
numbered releases, and the release status will only be available in the
tarball name. More information is available on this process in the
Apache development archives.
Apache 2.0 offers numerous enhancements, improvements and performance
boosts over the 1.3 codebase. The most visible and noteworthy addition
is the ability to run Apache in a hybrid thread/process mode on any
platform that supports both threads and processes. This has shown to
improve the scalability of the Apache HTTPD server significantly in
our early testing, on some versions of Unix. With this version of Apache,
we have also added support for filtered I/O. This allows modules to modify
the output of other modules before it is sent to the client. This release also
greatly improves the performance and robustness of Apache on the
Microsoft Windows Operating Systems. This alpha includes support for IPv6
on all platforms that support IPv6.
This version of Apache is known to work on many versions of Unix, BeOS,
OS/2, and Windows. Because of many of the advancements in Apache 2.0,
the initial release of Apache is expected to perform equally well on all
supported platforms.

except that it will take up disk space, but if you have the time and
skills, please give it a spin on your platforms.
